The time has come! 58 teams signed up, of which 50 will fight through the Qualification stage to earn their spot beside the invited 8. And what's more, all of this will be accompanied by the Voobly UserPatch (vUP). We are ready, are you? The Medieval Wars 2013 begin!

Funnily enough, 1st round of the Qualification Stage only consists of two matches. However, that allows us to open up Round 2 for play already and give all the other teams extra time to finish their first match. And just two weeks from now the most anticipated teams will also join the battle. There were many discussions back and forth on which teams deserved to receive an invitation directly to Group Stage. The final 8 invited teams are the following:
Chinese Kung Fu
Lords of Skulls
Poison of Zone
Revenge of Knight
SY Team
Team Fully Torqued
TyRanT
Viet Nam Strategy A
As mentioned above, another great addition to this tournament is the Voobly UserPatch. Over the past week Voobly have been able to implement UP 1.3 in their client and give it its full support including Voobly Widescreen interface, the Anticheat and more. The patch vUP (essentially enhanced 1.3 but still fully compatible with 1.3), can be downloaded here: http://www.voobly.com/gamemods/mod/51/U ... h/Overview. It is also worth noting that when you join a game hosted by someone with vUP, the patch will be ported to you automatically without having to install anything.
